  • +1 for the workstation. Using one rn and have been for 3-4 years. Never knew there were adapters for the psu… never needed one for my 1070.

    I did have to cut a hole in the door panel so the gpu would fit though.

    Also my tower has built in handles which is real dandy for hanging cables off of.

    In 1920, the average price of gold per troy ounce was $20.68USD[26.2 kB pdf]; 1 Kilogram = 32.15075 Troy ounces. Average house price in the 1920’s was $6,296.

    $20.68 USD * 32.15075 oz t = $664.87751 USD * 10 = $6648.7751 USD

    In 2023, the average price of gold per oz t was $1,940.54 and the average home price was $495,100.

    $1,940.54 USD * 32.15075 oz t = $62,389.81641 USD * 10 = $623,898.1641 USD

    This meme is credible, excepting errors in my assumption that 1 kilogram of gold is equivalent to 1 kilogram of common material.



  • Pretty much; although, (more importantly IMO) it also removes their economic support from oil companies. GHG’s are still produced when obtaining lithium for the batteries, aluminium for the body, etc. There’s as well the break and tyre particles that are still major pollutants regardless… despite all that it’s still better then using a gas engine.

    It’s also not easy to convince someone to change their preferred mode of transport and EV’s provide an acceptable (and in many ways superior) alternative. Not to mention taking the bus or riding a bike just isn’t feasible for some people, similarly some places (like Japan with three separate voltage standards) don’t have the necessary infrastructure and capacity to support EV’s.
